As a designer, documentation not only helps productivity but also lays the foundation for any good design team. During my time with PURE PM, I helped create a design system we named Project Wonderful Machine (PWM). This design system was ongoing initiative is to help streamline the design process within the larger organizational framework. By collaborating with project managers and developers, the purpose of Project Wonderful Machine was to continually iterate and refine this process by creating collaborative magic with project managers and developers.
Project Wonderful Machine consists of the following:
A working agreement to establish best practices in order to improve efficiency and communication.
A process flow listing each step from initial idea, to specific requirements, to designing mocks, and delivery to the development team.
Expectations set by the Design Team defining our expectations, followed by our expectations of the product and development teams.
Strategies and methods to implement Project Wonderful Machine throughout the platform including our growing collection of documentation and design library of patterns and components.
One of my main focuses was documenting design patterns and components. When library. The hope was this library would be utilized by the design team to identify and use reusable components for wireframing and UI mocks, and the development team would be able to reference the component library when building the platform. Having one source of truth where multiple departments can refer to will help reduce inconsistencies and improve productivity work flow throughout the platform.
